Of all the things I could have forgotten, it just had to be the fucking Brain Worms. The whole experience could have been avoided if I had just remembered about them! Of course, once I did remember, we disposed of them very quick. But it still could have been avoided. I lay down on my bed and think of why I didn't remember about it. Did the force play a part in it? Is it because it was the one episode I hated most? I don't know. My thoughts are interrupted by Ahsoka walking in. She has recovered enough to come to me, but I can still see her shivering.
"Come over to me 'Soka, I still don't understand why people don't like the cold." I say, trying to avoid more talk about the worms.
"Its not the cold that is bothering me." She says.
"I see," I understand what she means. It seems I am not the only one suffering from those blasted critters. I gesture for her to lie down with me, and she snuggles up close.
"I don't think I will be able to get the image of those things out of my head for some time." She says with a shiver.
"I'm more concerned about why I didn't remember about them." I say. "Considering how close we are, I should have remembered." I say, feeling guilty over the whole ordeal.
"Don't keep beating yourself up about it Curt, everyone makes mistakes." She tries to comfort me.
"Its not the fact that I could have stopped it that is bothering me the most, its why I forgot in the first place. This even had been ingrained into my mind since I first saw what would happen, I knew every detail. But I still forgot." I explain.
"Maybe this was something that needed to happen, and the Force stopped you from being able to intervene instantly." She says, trying to help me find a solution.
"I don't know, but that's the best lead I have, and if it is for Barriss and her development, it makes me worry of something that will happen in the future." I say. "Lets sleep for now, if you have nightmares, just give me a ping." I say, falling asleep in just a few seconds.
"Goodnight, Curtis." Ahsoka says softly, holding me close.
A/N – Tried to make a short intermission for just after the Brain worm invasion, which I will add into this chapter later on. Nut Out.
